In this week's episode of Growing up with gal-dem, Natty and Charlie are joined by BAFTA Breakthrough actor Susan Wokoma. Reflecting on an email sent to a boyfriend while travelling, Susan reflects on the many moments of independence she's had growing up - be it leaving home early, travelling solo around Europe, or confronting grief and death. Through the conversation Natty and Charlie celebrate Susan's ability to share and reflect joy in so many ways, and bring complexity and understanding to the roles she's portrayed.
